Genre: Foreign Films

Instead she is embroiled in this tale of intrigue which involves her accompanist and husband murdering a man who Jenny has made seductive eye contact with. Henri-Georges Clouzot directs this thriller full of rich complex characters and a dark world view, perhaps attributable to Clouzot's own experience with LE CORBEAU, his previous film which was banned by both Nazi Germany and his French homeland.
